I am really desperate. My mom needs a hobby. She is recently retired and now feels that it's necessary to call and email all day long while I'm at work. Normally I wouldn't mind, but the mindless things that she emails me about drive me crazy.
Her latest thing is testing out different fonts on her email. So I've been getting an email every few minutes asking my opinion on different fonts.
The other day she called to tell me that she found a sweater of mine (from when I was in high school - 10 years ag) and wanted to know if I still wanted it. This was 10:30 AM on a Tuesday.
Another incident this week was when she called to tell me about a wedding that we're invited to in September in Long Island. Fair enough, I like to know about things like this in advance. Then she told me to look online to find directions from the LIRR station to the reception hall because she'll need to drop me off after the wedding. However, I did not realize this was something that needed to be done right away....low and behold, twenty minutes later she sent me an email asking me if I had directions yet. Did I mention the wedding is not until SEPTEMBER????
So please, I'm begging you, if you know of anything that I can suggest to my mom to keep her occupied, let me know.
PS - I really do love my mom, I don't want to paint the wrong picture here.
it IS DEFINITELY OK to contact MY MOM with services or other commercial interests TO KEEP HER BUSY
